This was a fantastic place to stay. Great beach, fantastic views, excellent food, and service that goes beyond expectation. Totally disagree with negative comments. I am Canadian, was not asked to write this, and have travelled widely. GREAT value for money!!

It's my fourth stay at the resort and amused to see the place is still maintained very well. The property is full of different varieties of plants and they keep on adding new. The staff is very friendly, food is great and a peaceful stay is guaranteed. Will definitely come back soon. Thank you!

I am pleased to share my recent travel and medical treatment experience. The (Thapovan hotel) offers a fabulous massage therapies. I had an incredible experience with one of the masseurs in the Beauty salon of the hotel, his name is Biju. He is one of the best professionals there is, who does an amazing recovering massage therapy! 
Before I received the above mentioned medical massage therapy, I used to experience a terrible, annoying pain of the right leg practically all the time. The level of pain in my leg was incredibly high, so I had to gave myself a shot of pain reducing medication twice during my flight to India. Right after the treatment I’ve received from Biju, I can honestly say that I am fully physically recovered and no longer experiencing any pain at all. Biju’s massage was of the legs, hips, hand and face. Moreover, Biju not only helped to get rid of the constantly going pain but, also helped to get rid of the cellulite within only few therapy sessions. 
That was a wonderful experience that I had with Biju and now I feel myself as a healthy and young person again, thanks to him. No doubts that Biju is highly recommended professional! As for me, I will definitely come back to the Thapovan hitel for a massage therapy of Biju that had such a great affect on me again, and I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to be fully recovered from any severe pain, muscle sore and muscle tension or just simply take a break and receive an incredible relaxation therapy from a busy daily routine.

Very clean. Nice, friendly and helpful staff.  Beautyful garden.

Excellent setting! Very relaxing and food was fab :)

It was a perfect retreat for me. The treatments and yoga were just what I needed to relax after some stressful weeks at work, the food was excellent and the staff very friendly.  They really looked after me.  I would happily recommend the resort, the beach, the location and would come back another time.  The lack of tv and internet are actually a blessing in disguise.  After this, I went to Kovalam Beach which is the complete opposite.  So glad I stayed at Thapovan.

Thapovan was one of the most beautiful places I've stayed at in Kerala. We had booked an Eagle's Nest room with the beach view and it was a great stay. The hotel staff is very co-operative and warm. They did their best to make sure our stay was comfortable. Do try the Ayurvedic massages here. The masseuse are very skilful and having tried massages all over the world, I'd say the one at Thapovan was the best. Very relaxing. The private beach, the food, the ambience - Thapovan has all the elements for a great holiday.Thank you.

Lovely hotel & resort, split into 2 sites - the cheaper rooms are on a separate site, a 2 min walk downhill (5 mins uphill!!) from the more expensive beachside cottages on the 2nd site. Top site has better views, and a nicer restaurant. Nice private beach with friendly lifeguard, although sea was rough so no swimming. Had an ayuverdic massage which was a real experience... Yoga session in the morning was a fantastic start to the day. All in all, just what we needed :)

That's a kind of a hotel I like-it's as if inside a jungle..I didn't expect I find such a place near Kovalam.

very courtesies staff, very good location, food is good...

Thapovan is a tastefully built resort with heritage cottages and hideaway rooms with ample greenery offering an amazing view of the vizhinjam port n sea. It is quaint Picturesque resort with an in house restaurant ideal for travellers looking for places to stay away from the hustle n bustle of kovalam. Thapovan is not in kovalam but at walking distance to vizhinjam port, while the work n port development is a downer, however thapovan location is at a safe distance away from port for travellers to enjoy the quaint ambience and the view of Indian ocean. Ideal place for couples and solo travellers. Hideaway rooms as they are called are overlooking thick foliage and very private, while the heritage n non ac cottages are grouped together . Overall it was value for money for what thapovan offers to travellers in terms of the location, ambience and experience.

Picturesque heritage resort with an amazing view

The hotel has two distinctly in two locations- one, on high grounds, and the other, nearer to sea. We stayed at the sea. Location is amazing with a wonderful sea view. Round the clock roaring waves makes it awesome. Coconut trees and a variety of other plants render an excellent garden as well. A well maintained lawn and a variety of orchids compel you to lie on hammocks for ever. Rooms are ethnic, spacious and neat.  Staff quite courteous and helpful. Food is homely, makes you eat more and more. Overall, it is just good to be away from the routine urban crowds to be in this serene place.

Amazing Sea View n Roaring Waves

Location was awesome...just 30mins frm trivendrum airport, 5 mins frm kovalam and 90kms frm kanyakumari. resort is very close to the beach. We booked Old House rooms which were small yet comfortable. Staff is very cordial and friendly. Food is good but expensive. They can make arrangements for your travel massage and anything you need. If you are going to relax for a few days, Thapovan is the best palce to rejuvenate.

Splendid destination to rejuvenate

It was a perfect retreat for me.

A beautiful, calm Ayurvedic retreat

Relaxation!

We had booked Old House as the Beach house was not available while booking online. We reached early and our room was up for clean. So I enquire if the beach side Room was available or not and it was available. We were shown both the rooms by Srikanth and we preffered to stay at Beach Side room. Srikanth upgraded us to Beach Cottages without any additional cost.The ambience is very good. The beach is very nearby and clean and is lifeguard is always present on th beach.Last day , knowing that we were on our honeymoon they had decorated our bed with flowers and fruit basket.For sight seeing we had asked Srikanth to make arrangement for an bike which he promptly did.

Thankyou-Thapovan

This is my first trip to Kerala and it turned out to be one of the best to start. The very first look was mesmerizing and prompted us to rethink on extending our stay. We had initially planned to stay for open night, the staff and Thapovan just drew us into extending our stay here. It is one of the best resorts that I have been in the recent past. Very cosy and comfortable place to just relax. The best part was that there was no TV, which ensured that we spent the maximum time enjoying the nature. It has a private beach which is a rarity in these days and indeed a very clean beach. The food and the staff were the icing on the cake and not to forget the Ayurveda Massage Center which over various services which is one of the best in class. The stay here turned out to be one of our best and most relaxing, hoping to go there soon.....Last but not the least, this place is affordable and thanks to Expedia Deals......

Relax & Rejuvenate at Thapovan Heritage Home

If you want a beautiful, nature-filled experience, this is an excellent place to stay. Simple elegance is the best way to describe it. There's no air-conditioning, no tv, no alcohol. Just the beauty of nature, clean comfortable rooms and surroundings. Excellent service. Just as all of the previous reviews we read said it would be like.
